Today is a soft-launch for my "twenty years of Links.net" documentary, exploring the personal and social costs of my search for attention through explicit personal publishing on the early web.
I will spend July preparing the film for online distribution: finalizing the video's title, which will effect fonts and URLs in places throughout the film and web. I'll correct typos & errors, do color correction & a final audio mix. Then I'll slice this up into episodes and make trailers. Finally, I'll pull off the curtain by reaching out to media outlets, academics, web historians, artists and freaks who might find their cortexes or ribs tickled here.
So this is a pre-release release; by the end of July I'll be ready to release to the larger world. Feel free to purchase yourself a copy of this film to watch today, or whenever!
Over the next few months I look forward to reflecting and emoting a little more about the making of the film. For now, I'm excited to have the film itself testify to the absurdity of the project.
